seen this?

I get the distinct impression you meant to attach a link..... :)

ah shit!

Where do you get a 3.5 litre Golf VR6?

apparently there was a school on that road the road was 800 yards long

and it was 10 pm on a Saturday or so I've been informed (reliably)

should have had this bit in the post:

IMO he's either absolutely ignorant of how long a car takes to stop at speed or he's a bloody idiot. He'd have something like 125 on the speedo. The stopping distances at 116 are more or less 10 times the stopping distances at 40. It sounds like it's probably a dual carriageway with houses either side, so that probably means street lights, and not using your full beams. You just can't see far enough to avoid pedestrians.

Someone ought to have a look at the theory side of the driving test IMO. I seem to remember needing to know your stopping distances up to 70, but nothing above that. People don't seem to realise that stopping distances square when speeds double.

but it's the amount of people that they caught doing well over the speed limit that worry's me if the road is so fast thenwhy is it posted as a 40? because there's a school on it?

How does he think he's going to convince anyone that he is 'remorseful'? Presumably nothing bad happened apart from his breaking the speed limit and if he hadn't been caught I doubt if he would feel remorseful, quite the opposite, he'd be sitting in his hospital bed bragging to his mates about it.

Heh. I always suspected it :)

But was it "dangerous driving" - I guess it was daytime so there'd be people around.

ahhh so the school would be shut.... that makes it ok then.

Doki > Someone ought to have a look at the theory side of the driving test

Do they??

Any evidence to prove that reality follows theory on this one?

is funnier

Heh - i was well impressed :)

You'd have to do a survey of newly passed drivers I suppose.

but dangerous for who? him? the guy who he might have hit? the most important question is that, given he's only got 800 yards to get to the speed he's got to and then slow down again, there was no one else on the road at the time or else he would have been slowed down sufficiently there isn't enough information to go on, and eve the stuff that we do have is conflicting so it's just a question of what has he got under the bonnet :)

Heh, that would be quite cool. I actually had a look on some sites after seeing that one to see if it was available.

Speaking of a completely different subject, just noticed this whilst looking for a cheap digital camera for my parents;

How completely and utterly sad :)

And how the hell does he expect to sell them if he doesn't include some sample shots, eh?

I mean, she could be a right munter.

Some people go for that kind of thing tho :)
